Jess Brightwell and his band of exiles have fled London, only to find themselves imprisoned in Philadelphia, a city led by those who would rather burn books than submit. But Jess and his friends have a bargaining chip: the knowledge to build a machine that will break the Library’s rule.

Their time is running out. To survive, they’ll have to choose to live or die as one, to take the fight to their enemies—and to save the very soul of the Great Library....

RemusLupin(Grade: B+) Happily, this book was better than the 2nd in this series. The new setting of Burner-controlled Philadelphia was intriguing and heart-racing, and the ending ensured that I need to read the next book ASAP. If you enjoyed the first book in this series, you will enjoy this one, particularly the choices all of the characters have to make in order to survive.
